Third book by this author and I’m not disappointed
My third book by Lorrain Allen and so far I’ve not been disappointed. Jada and Elijah’s story was just a glimpse of how life really is. Everyone who gives you a shoulder to cry on or a lending ear does not always have your best interests at heart. That was one of the best lessons this book has taught me. Ben, Ericka, Chris and Wayne were just miserable souls who wanted to taint Jada with their misery.

This one had me on the edge of my seat wondering how it would all play out. Lots of twists, turns and deceit!
Jada was in a marriage that wasnt working and she continued to deal with husbands infidelity until her friend told her to do the same to him. Jada had doubts about doing the same thing, but then an incident with her husband made her change her mind. She first met Wayne and they hooked up for awhile and this made Jada feel alive. She than met Eli, but what she felt for him was different. Eli and Jada spent time with each other and eventually fell in love with each other, but the problem was Jada

So...relationship games can make for a hot mess indeed. At the beginning of this book, I had a little trouble in connecting to the characters. But, that didn't last very long. The more I read, the more invested in the story I became. I found myself, at times while reading, shaking my head almost yelling at the book "Oh no, he didn't" and "Oh no she didn't". When you find yourself talking back to book characters, you know the story is compelling. Violence is never the answer to solve problems, bu

This is my first time reading a book by this author and I was not disappointed. The storyline got my attention from the beginning until the end.
The characters were well developed and interesting in the way they carry themselves and actions towards others. I felt myself feeling the emotions of being angry, disappointed, sorry and shocked by what was happening in the storyline.
I don’t want to give any spoilers but I will say a person can not always listen to their friends advice.

This author has such a unique voice and her stories (and characters) are realistic. I cannot help but to connect to and want to befriend each and every one of them. This story was wonderful and uplifting for women. It was about finding yourself after tough circumstances and deciding what you really deserve. I enjoyed the growth the character had through out the story and just how much she came into herself. There is steam, heat, romance and great world building as well. The balance and dynamics

This book is NOT for everyone.
I am not a fan of cheating of ANY kind, not even in checkers. This book hasn’t changed my mind about it. But has enlightened me to see that even in my own past relationship I have a choice to lay down and take it or get up and change it.
I am looking forward to seeing more from Lorraine.

I loved this story. I loved that Jada took her life by the hands and swung it where she wanted it, altho hesitant at first. I love that Elijah didn't immediately cave, but instead lived his pain and heartache as we all do. I loved Lorrain's style of writing, this is my second book by her and I will continue to grab her books as they come out. You will love this, not your typical story but instead deep and meaningful, painful and intense, sexy and happy all at once.

Reality TVish
Oh my goodness I had a headache reading this book. I loved Eli and cheered for him. All the crazy sidekicks was too much reality tv for me. Between Ben and Erika's messiness I was done.
This book was a good read.

Great story
This was a great story that encompassed betrayal and New beginnings. It was well written with an easy flow that allowed the reader to connect with the characters.

The subject matters of her books are controversi
